Answer 1

Answer is in attachment☝

Answer 2

Answer:

2/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational number be =n/p

Again, p-7=n

or, p=n+7

So rational number=n/(n+7)

Now, new rational number =(n+2)/(n+16)

Again, n/n+7=n+2/n+16

n²+16n=n²+9n+14

or, 16n=9n+14

or, 7n=14

or, n=2

So, the number =2/9.
